Paloma
AnnenMayKantereit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero pelear
Quiero pelear
Quiero amar
Quiero amar
Quiero pelear
Quiero amar
Lucharé
Yo amaré
Seré los dos
Seré los dos

Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma

Ich kann dir nich' sagen
Warum ausgerechnet Raben
Diese Wirkung auf mich haben
Vielleicht wegen diesem Abend
Vor so vielen Jahren
Weißt du, wenn das Foto wieder vor mir liegt
Kann ich sehen, wie die Taube wieder fliegt

Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma




Cuervo y una paloma
Cuervo y una paloma

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AnnenMayKantereit's song Paloma are in Spanish and German, which makes it an interesting mix of two different languages. The first few lines of the song are in Spanish, which translate to 'I want to fight, I want to love, I will fight, I will love. I will be both, a crow and a dove.' These lines convey the idea of wanting to fight and love at the same time, which can be seen as a contrast to each other. However, it also shows a sense of balance, where both the darker aspects and the lighter aspects of oneself are present.


The next lines of the song are in German and talk about the significance of ravens for the singer. The singer cannot explain why ravens have an effect on him, maybe it is because of a specific evening that he remembers vividly from years ago. The singer mentions a photograph where he sees a dove again, which implies that he is looking for a way to find balance and peace.


The repeated lines of 'cuervo y una paloma' mean 'crow and a dove', which could represent the singer's inner struggles between darkness and light, or the contrast between the two animals which are traditionally associated with death and peace respectively.


Overall, the lyrics of Paloma express the singer's desire for balance, and his recognition of the struggles that come with trying to achieve it.
